While dconf is a successor of gconf, it's not a drop-in replacement. Currently you need both. As a rule of thumb, Gnome2-era applications will be using gconf (some might keep using it for years to come,qq so gconf isn't going away), while most recent Gnome3-era applications already migrated, or are in the process of migration to dconf (note that even the base Gnome3 didn't yet fully moved to dconf as of Gnome 3.2) m. -- Michal Varga, Stonehenge (Gmail account) _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
